Sea Perch Institute Challenge

Sea Perch Institute Challenge

May 25, 2010

The MIT Sea Grant College program will present the final underwater robotics projects of Sea Perch Institute students from 9 a.m to 1 p.m. on June 1 at MIT’s Zesiger Athletic Center pool.

The 250 students from four schools will be presented with a complex problem to resolve using their Sea Perch vehicles: A cargo ship has gone down in Boston Harbor and the student groups must respond using their Sea Perches for mapping, water quality analysis, and recovery if indicated.

A college and career fair will take place 11-1 p.m.; all events are free and open to the public.
